As I sit here in the waiting room at my doctor’s office for my Week 27 appointment, I realize I haven’t posted any updates recently! I’ve been dutifully taking my weekly “bump” photos but haven’t been sharing them. This was me 3 weeks ago in Week 24. Baby is doing well and kicking up a storm! 🤰🏼 By the way, today is glucose test day! A heads up for other expectant moms: the orange drink isn’t as bad as they say it is. I thought it was delicious! Tasted like non-carbonated orange soda. Nothing to worry about! 😊 About the dress: super affordable from @ardene and though it’s not maternity-specific, the empire waist makes it perfect for a growing bump! . . . . . . #babybump #24weeks #24weekspregnant #week24 #bumpie #bumpfie #baby #pregnant #pregnancy #expecting #expectingmom #expectingparents #momtobe #mumtobe #mumtobe2018 #firsttimemom #firsttimeparents #preggers #newmom #stylishbump #pregnantbelly #ardene #ardenelove
Last month I went to the @torontolife Doughnut Festival at @dufferin_mall and sampled my way through doughnut heaven. 🍩😋 On the blog, I’m sharing my reviews of all 11 doughnuts I tried – check out my post to see which ones were my favourites! (P.S. – these Carnival Doughnuts from @sunshinedoughnuts made the top 4! Any of the ones in my top 4 could easily have been #1.) #todoughnutfest . . . . . . #doughnut #doughnuts #donut #donuts #ilovedoughnuts #ilovedonuts #doughnutlove #doughnutlover #donutlove #donutlover #donutworry #donutworrybehappy #foodblog #foodblogger #foodbloggers #foodbloggersca #torontolife #torontolifestyle #sunshinedoughnuts #donut🍩 #donuts🍩 #torontofood #torontofoodie #torontofoodies #torontofoodblog #tofoodie #tofoodies
I was researching bassinets and came across this stunner from @samdesigninc. This is a tough item to settle on because bassinets are so expensive but only used for a short amount of time. This one is exactly my style and they’re holding a ‘share this photo’ contest to win it, so wish me luck! . . . . . #baby #pregnant #pregnancy #expecting #expectingmom #expectingparents #momtobe #mumtobe #mumtobe2018 #firsttimemom #firsttimeparents #preggers #newmom #bassinet #bassinets #samdesigninc #babygear #babybassinet #contest #giveaway
I’ve been keeping notes throughout this pregnancy and finally got around to putting my experience of the first trimester into a blog post! Partly because I want to have it documented to look back on, but I also want to share what I’ve learned so far as a first-time mom-to-be in order to help others along in their pregnancy journey. The post is linked in my bio, check it out if you’re curious to know! #BabyEngell . . . . . #baby #pregnant #pregnancy #expecting #expectingmom #expectingparents #momtobe #mumtobe #mumtobe2018 #firsttimemom #firsttimeparents #preggers #newmom #firsttrimester #babystory #feltboard #feltletterboard #letterboard

Monday mood – I feel ya, Bryson, I just want to bury my face in my hands, too. I’ve had a bad cold since before the weekend and being pregnant limits my options for which medications I can take to relieve my symptoms. But I somehow managed to have a productive day anyway and I published a #WeWantToKnow article! If you or anyone you know is a motorcycle rider and into motowear then you’ll want to read my interview with the team behind @zin_motowear that I’ve linked in my profile. In the meantime, I’m going to take a nap and hope this cold goes away soon! How is everyone else’s Monday going? . . . . . . #monday #mood #mondaymood #currentmood #cat #cats #catsofinsta #catsofinstagram #instacat #bestmeow #cutecat #cutekitty #furbaby #furbabylove #ailurophile #bryson #brysonandpenelope #sickday
